Thinkrider PP5 power meter

[waltini]

Does any one know a cheap crankset you can mount these on? I can only find carbon cranks.

Yep, Senicx XR3. About 130AUD on AliExpress. Have seen it for 90AUD on Taobao.

Easton, 29MM. Total cost combined with power meter is 250. Insane value. (If it works lol)

This listing even cheaper for me (Australia) at $91 USD:

I've even bought one for €73.
Also had the complete crankset with spider for 160. Hopefully gplama has some good things to say about this.
Have done one test ride so far, but looks like it isn't to far off from my other powermeter.

Will this power meter be compatible with a Shimano 105 crank?

No, you will need a different crank. But there are many Chinese carbon cranks that work.

It's a race to the bottom, now it's US$85 !!

Good morning, my PP5 PM just arrived. I'm really interested to see the accuracy.

Since having Wahoo Speedplay and a Zwift kickr, I was curious if I could not use all 3 together to see how accurate pp5 is.
Is there any program available, than can connect all 3 and graph the power?

Thanks René

Yes, this tool:

You will need two head units though to record the pedals and spider at the same time.

That would be so great! Looking forward to it.

Since you are one of the few people with 3 independent power sources on one bike, you have the perfect setup to benchmark this thing.

You can record all three at once by pairing one to your head-unit, the Kickr to your laptop, and the PP5 to your phone. (This works best via Bluetooth, assuming they aren't all ANT+ only).

If you don't feel like messing with the analysis software yourself, feel free to send me a PM. I’d be happy to take the .fit files and overlay the graphs for you.

(Just be sure to note down when/how/what temperature you calibrated at)

I picked one up at this price. And the Coospo one even cheaper again. Those together are the same price as a 52T DuraAce chainring. 🤯

I won't be surprised these turn out to be total potatoes. The results will speak for themselves. Stay tuned....

Which cranksets will be compatible with this powermeter?

cranksets with Easton interface. This one seems to be GXP

[Rajmundx]

Maybe but with Easton interface the crankset on aliexpress are very expensive.

[alfiomotrambo]

I think the correct chainring is the sram interface like this https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008653144864.html

Then just get a Magene pes515 and forget about it
